You may have noticed that search.0t.rocks' record count hasn't increased recently. Partially because of my laziness in not converting data but primarily due to maxing out of the hardware I have available to me.
Right now we're rocking 4x DL380P G8s with a total of 2.2TB of RAM, but the database has managed to eat up all the memory and no matter how many optimizations I do it keeps running out on import. Ideally I want to migrate to a 16 node C7000 BladeSystem with ~4TB RAM and expandability up to 8TB in the future.
That being said, we are opening a fundraising campaign to acquire new hardware, and the cost is estimated at $6,000. This can be done either through donations or an advertising partnership (i.e a prominent advertisement on homepage until you have been repaid). If you are interested, send an email to [email protected] from your organization's domain with DKIM signing.
If anyone simply wants to donate to the cause, BTC donations are appreciated at
